Additional fees are charges applied for payroll-related services and transactions that are not linked to a specific crew member. They are not part of an employee's earnings or deductions, but they may affect the total payroll cost and are included in the funding request.
The three fee types
- Fixed Amount — use when the default fee amount can be predetermined. The value can still be modified when the payroll status is changed to Submitted for Funding.
- Variable Amount — use when the fee amount cannot be predetermined. The value is entered once the status is changed to Submitted for Funding.
- Fixed Percentage — use when the fee is calculated as a percentage of the total payroll amount. The value can also be modified at the Submitted for Funding stage.
